Bearing Tool Loaner Program

 

The Bearing Tool, donated by Alex Ferrara, for sharing by the rest of us is ready to go.  I've supplied a special box with cutout foam padding and created a laminated instruction booklet to go along with it.  It will fit in a medium size Priority Mail box and ship anywhere in the U.S. for $13.45.

As soon as you get done and get it all cleaned up, pack it up like you received it and contact me for where to mail it to the next person in line. Please keep me informed as to it's whereabouts and schedule for record keeping.

CAUTION: Front Wheel Bearing Inner Grease Seal


It has been discovered by numerous well known GMC experts that bearing suppliers are beginning to use modified lip seals that are not acceptable for our wheel bearing applications. Furthermore, they are being substituted under the original part numbers, therefore, visual confirmation of the seals’ dimensions are required.

The front inner seal has been found to have a lip turned inward that will rub on the bearing cage causing metal particles to migrate into the grease. The wall of the seal should be straight with no lip. It is imperative that this be checked prior to installation as there is no indication other than visual confirmation. Your bearings will fail prematurely if this interference occurs.
